Mrs. X in her current 3rd pregnancy with one previous live child of 3 years came to us in early pregnancy. The previous delivery was by Caesarean section. She had had one previous miscarriage, was an asthmatic and a diabetic on insulin.

She was examined by the gynecologist and referred to the endocrinologist and fetal medicine specialist to normalize her physiology and monitor the development of the baby. This was the start of her management by the multidisciplinary team.

Regular Ultrasound scans to monitor the baby and blood sugar evaluation to monitor her diabetes were done in addition to controlling her blood pressure which was showing signs of increase. In-spite of which at 32 weeks of pregnancy she developed full blown pregnancy induced hypertension( PIH) .

She was electively admitted in the MICU under the care of an intensivist and managed by the multidisciplinary team of Gynecologists, intesivists, radiologista and endocrinologists.

On stabilization of her BP, she was taken up for C-Section and a live healthy baby was delivered. The mother and baby pair needed intensive observation after delivery and they made a smooth recovery. We were able to discharge them on the 4 th day in a healthy condition.
